Book Name: For The Hell Of It

Author:  domseokk

Reviewer: Anika FrozenHeartsGalaxy

Cover: 02/05

The font style doesn't look that appealing, additionally it took over the most space of cover in a messy way. Face claim of Namjoon would have looked much better if it was positioned in the middle rather than the left side. Overall, the design is attractive and the dark theme of the cover is relevant to the plot line.

Title: 3/05
You're not supposed to capitalize the first letter of articles and prepositions like 'the' and 'of' in your title. The title doesn't sound unique at first, nevertheless after reading the story, the title seems perfect and matches the vibes of the plot.

Synopsis: 9/10

The author used all elements of attraction in the blurb to catch the reader's attention such as quote, protagonist description, relationship and aftermath with other characters which led us to feel curiosity of their bonding journey. I couldn't detect any vocabulary errors here.

Execution: 9/10

The pace was balanced, not too rushed nor too slow. The story was still around the exposition and the author executed it so well in an interesting way, making the flow of the storyline worthwhile and engrossing.

Plot: 13/20
The plot seems common but the author constructed other aspects in own unique and creative way. For now, I'm just familiar with Namjoon's goal as the story hasn't progressed further but I must say it is already entertaining and intriguing. The author used the method that sucessfully worked to gain the attention of the readers and keep them engaged in the story by putting the main protagonist in trouble.

Writing style: 19/20

Most of it was his internal monologue and emotions and short appearance description. They were greatly detailed and explained which helped me to get to know the character better. Each chapter had an ideal length to keep the reader hooked for a long amount of time and not disappoint them with short and fast endings. The paragraphs weren't too long or short either, they were arranged neatly and well-written in the required order of the particular topic.

Grammar and Vocabulary: 18.5/20

There were barely any grammatical or vocabulary mistakes, however I found one spelling mistake which I didn't expect to spot. In the chapter 6: "But hos father didn't like how Lucifer wanted to do things"

Character development: 5/10

Namjoon's wicked personality was described through Via's part and some past references. He wasn't a bad guy with dumb reasons, thus you represent his resentment profoundly. Hence he is already a villain that is understood and empathised by readers. There were many other characters introduced and their relationship with him are well-portrayed as I could feel chemistry between them even though their interactions were just for a short period of time. However, there were some holes that weren't understood by me, Y/N's entry and dialogues were so great, I was already falling in love with her. But the way you showed her character too naive or she was just pretending to ignore it, this was something that seemed improper and unfit. Like how can a human ignore such things happening right in front of her eyes, she may or may not be human as I feel like there's more to her character but how can Lucifer and Rameil not feel suspicion toward her? You foreshadowed too much about her odd unbothered behaviour, making it obvious for readers that she is definitely someone special. You shouldn't have placed many puzzles and hints in front of the reader at once all together. Ramiel agreeing to Y/N quickly seemed unreasonable when he had already stated logical reasons and warning for not complying with Lucifer. Just because she asked instead of demanding, it doesn't change his previous arguments. It felt like the author just tried to triumphant Y/N over Namjoon with no good effective reason or convincing way.

Total Marks: 78.5/100
